Best technique for wet sanding Options

[dbgriffith75]

I don't have anything in particular I'll need to wet sand soon, but I got to thinking about this today and was just wondering.

I've known some people to spray a given area with a hose, then sand.

I've known some to wipe down the area with a wet rag, then sand.

And one guy I know dips the sandpaper in water, then sands.

My personal preference is to wipe down the area with a wet rag, then sand. Just wondering how other guys do it and what could be considered the "best method."

Use 3M paper. I've never had a problem with it. Soak it first.

As far as water I like to rig up my own water system. Buy some 1/2 white pvc pipe. Cut a piece about 3' long and drill 1/8 holes in it down the pipe about an inch apart, all in a line. Glue a cap on one end and a hose fitting to the other. Not the threaded one. Get the fitting that plugs into the inside of the hose. That way there's no metal to scratch the paint. Get a couple of suction cups and attach them to the pvc pipe. You now can place the pvc sprinkler anywhere on your car and have constant fresh water. You can buy a setup like this but why when you can make it for less than $10.
